I was waiting for a long time that moment, but I thought
that never happened. But I was wrong. When I
picked up the phone, I couldn't say
any word. But then, I listened the voice. Please is Myriam at home? Then my voice
went out, and I began to shout, Yes! Yes! I am. What's you want?
A friendly voice answers me: Hello Myriam. Good evening. I can tell that you know why I am calling you. Maybe is because you are waiting this call a long time. But now is real. I asked her: are you calling me from the Brazilian Embassy? The voice answered me: Yes, I am, and I have good news for you. Your papers are OK, and you can
fligh to Brazil the next weekend. I
couldn't believed that. For more than 8 months I was waiting this paper, and that moment was here, more than near than never.
Now I am in Brazil enjoying the beach, the sun, and the people, and
remembered with a smile the moment when the phone rang one week ago.
